The evidence of theft was conclusive. Even if the servants of the third-rank salt transportation envoy and the housekeeper in the mansion came to ask the person in person, the Jingzhao Yin Yamen still ordered them to pay 5,000 taels of silver and would never be allowed to enter Beijing in the future.

Yan Qingrui knew about this matter immediately, but she didn't take it seriously. What she wanted to deal with was not the servant, but the culprit.

However, the disciples of the Ganzhou branch of Wanyutang received another additional instruction: Don’t let the salt transport envoy Yan Mingtang be too idle.

Don’t let him be too idle, that is, let him be busy. The disciples of Wanyutang instantly understood it. Therefore, Yan Mingtang’s always smooth official career suddenly became less smooth, and all kinds of small problems continued.

Salt merchants are causing trouble, private salt is prevalent, and salt leads to problems...

In a state of turmoil, Yan Mingtang had to put down the person who sent someone to arrest the escaped concubine in advance and solve his current troubles.

However, he never dreamed that the trouble was not only impossible to solve, but it was even bigger.

In the process of catching private salt, he took a group of passing guests as private salt dealers, and even killed a man from that moment in the melee.

He often does this kind of thing and handles it cleanly. Even if the families of those who were wrongly sold private salt sued, they would not be able to get him up.

However, he never dreamed that he had a big deal this time.

The envoy of Xuan Zhengyuan, a first-rank official from Beijing.

His favorite youngest son was doing business in Ganzhou with a few friends. This time it was the young man's turn to personally custody the goods. When a batch of goods passed by a mountain road, Yan Mingtang and others were rounded up on the charge of salt owls.

This young man was also a pampered person at home. He would be tied up when he was reluctant to leave his hands. The two sides suddenly clashed. Yan Mingtang did a lot of things to call the good people for the salt owl. Seeing that the goods were profitable, he immediately followed the old method.

Killing people and robbing goods, and being charged with charges.

The salt transport envoy was originally a lack of fat and oily. There was a nursery rhyme: Give a salt transport envoy, if you don’t get promoted for ten years, the emperor will do it for me, but I’m not afraid of it!

It means that even if a person who has been a salt transport envoy will not complain even if he has not been promoted for ten years, it is not uncommon for him to take the position of emperor.

Although it is an exaggeration, the oil and water in it can be seen from this.

Yan Mingtang was in this salt transport commander, and he had been sitting for ten years. He had already used huge amounts of silver to help his colleagues follow his advice. In the area of ​​Ganzhou, he could almost cover the sky with his hands.

But he never expected that the rich "merchant" he killed was actually the youngest son of the Xuan Zhengyuan envoy.

When the Xuan Zhengyuan envoy saw the body of his favorite son, he almost fainted. He used his own strength and put pressure on the Ganzhou government. The Ganzhou governor dared not neglect and investigated the matter personally.

After this investigation, Yan Mingtang could no longer hide.

What Yan Mingtang has done over the years is not something that no one has noticed. It is just that he is good at managing the goods and has a lot of money to use for managing the goods. His smooth sailing has always made him feel fearless. Otherwise, he would not dare to be so vicious.

When the Governor of Ganzhou found out the truth, the sweat on his forehead was so shocked that he burst out layer by layer.

At the same time, those who have been innocently killed by Yan Mingtang over the years, such as Guo Qing, who were destroyed by his family, actually went to Beijing to file a lawsuit.
